Hello there! Too excited for Space X launch today. Hope you´re all good and safe.
While you read it this week, my suggestion is The Arcs — Yours, Dreamly. The Arcs is a spinoff project from Dan Auderbach (The Black Keys).
Book of the week
The Fine Art of Small Talk — Debra Fine. This book could be called as “Breaking the Ice for Dummies”. It has a lot of hints and tips for introverts start conversations and create bonds with others. It is valuable because on meetings, conferences, new job first days and bars (how I miss it) you can be uncomfortable to don´t know how to start a conversation with a stranger and in some cases, miss a life-longer friend.

*Uber this week has been disposed thousands of bikes of its subsidiary Jump once it´s not profitable as they expected, and recycling is too complicated in their conception. They could use the Bounce (Indian bike share company) example and sell it or donate it for whoever needs.
*Remember Pentagon´s JEDI project? This week, we have some news about it. AWS got a judge decision to stop once again the Microsoft already won process. This start a series of pinpicks between both giants. For 10 billion dollar contract, the fight worth it.
*Raspberry Pi 4 has arrived with 8GB and a lot of power. Tom´s Hardware as usual made a drill down on the brand new hardware. Do you have a raspi project that you want to share? Let us know on the comments.
*If you have 30.000£ available, you can buy the newest Rega Naiad Turntable to listen your old vinyl records.
*Two things are not tolerated when you use the cloud: laziness and ignorance. Proof of that, 10.000USD has been ripped off the monthly billing doing boring work optimizing DynamoDB configuration.

A lot of discussions such as the architecture of the “new money format”, the matter of decentralization and the risks of Central Banks to not adopt are already on the table. May the blockchain and DLTs will finally be more popular? Just raised my position in some stable and altcoins.
